The Consulate: The World of the Orphium Maere, Book 1
An immortal warrior & the necromancer who burned her house down. Five missing swords. Three underworld dynasties at odds with the mundane world. One big heist.
Ember Verona's immortal life is a mess. Her best friend just got out of prison and, like the rest of their sistren, wants nothing to do with her. The swords that gave the guardians of Orphium their parapsych powers have been missing for hundreds of years.
Nothing seems able to change that, or to put the Orphium Maere back together again. Until Ares Necroline, the leader of Orphium's necromancers, tips Ember off to the swords' location. They are up for auction at the National Gallery's annual Gala. Can Ember get the swords and her sistren back before tipping off the Authority?
Ember must choose. Work with the man who burned her house to the ground and ruined her life—or do this on her own and risk falling into useless obscurity.
Find out which she chooses. The Consulate is a sizzling hot modern romantasy, filled with ghosts, a mysterious underworld, and a heaping serving of romance. The World of the Orphium Maere is a series of interconnected standalone paranormal romantasies from Allison Carr Waechter, the author of Dark Night Golden Dawn.

this wasn’t bad by any means but i personally just couldn’t get into it. the world and all the characters sorta confused me and i struggled to keep track of it all. the male narrator sounded like he was saying “Amber” instead of “Ember”(the FMC) so for a while i was SO confused wondering who tf “Amber” was. i think i’d give the second book a chance tho
